It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it.

Reversible cholinesterase inhibitor used for treatment of Myasthenia gravis and as an analgesic adjuvant in epidural anesthesia, to reverse neuromuscular blockade produced by competitive neuromuscular blockers anad in the treatment of paralytic ileus and glaucoma.. Oral administration, eye drops, intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous.
It is not excreted into breastmilk. (Wilson 1981, Fraser 1963 y 1953)
No problems have been observed in infants of mothers treated with neostigmine (Giwa 1981, Fraser 1963). A breastfed neonate whose mother were treated with neostigmine suffered of abdominal colicky pain after a feeding, but the neostigmine plasma levels were undetectable. (Fraser 1963 & 1953)
Because of a low oral bioavailability it seems even more unlikely the pass to the infant’s plasma through ingested breastmilk, except in preterm infants and immediate neonatal period, when there may be an increased intestinal permeability.
On long-term treatments, because there is less published experience than with other drugs of the same group, a known safer alternative would be preferred during the neonatal period and/or in case of prematurity.
Experts authors consider the use of this medication to be probably compatible during breastfeeding. (Briggs 2015, Schaefer 2015, Lee 1993)
